Permits and rules in Bakewell
Derbyshire County Council is the highway authority for Bakewell: in two-tier Derbyshire, roads are run by the county council, not Derbyshire Dales. Trunk roads are managed by National Highways.
Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.
Primary routes through Bakewell include the A6, A619 and A6020. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
Bakewell is home to around 3,979 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
